Best visit to Temple of Zeus - We booked a trip to Cap Sounion from Athens. Our driver and the owner of the company Demetrious included a stop to swim what we loved. He was incredibly friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable regarding history and recent events. We enjoyed a wonderful trip to the temple of Zeus and had a great time.

Excellent and prompt service! - I had searched online for a short tour to visit the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio at the last minute as it was the day before my departure from Greece. I’m so glad that I found Athens Day Trip Tours. Communication was quick, friendly and responsive. The trip was great! I will definitely reach out again for another tour on my next return visit to Greece. My highest recommendation.

Great Option for a Private Day Tour - We arranged a day tour for us since we were checking out of our accommodations and our flight was leaving in the evening. Kyriakos picked us up and was a knowledgable and fun guide through Sounion. We all really liked Lake Vouliagmeni and decided to drop a church from the itinerary on the fly and spend some more time their swimming. Kyriakos was accommodating and adaptable. After the temple we had a nice lunch on the beach before returning to the airport for our flight. Definitely one of the most memorable and enjoyable days on our trip. Thanks!

Must do tour with breathtaking views - I would highly recommend this experience. Dimitrios was very knowledgeable and humble. Even though it was a taxi strike in Athens that day, he still managed the tour for us. I wish we had more days so we could do other day trips from Athens too. Hopefully next time we will.

Temple of Poisidon Excursion - We booked the excursion to visit Cape Sounio and Temple of Poisidon Athenian Riviera 4 hour tour through TripAdvisor, we received an immediate response from Demitris to ask if we would prefer Sunrise or Sunset we chose to take the Sunset Tour. Demitris picked us up at the hotel at 6 pm. and took us sightseeing with the amazing views. We arrived at the Temple of Poisidon and was a bit windy. My wife didn't bring a jumper with her, and Demitris offered his jacket to her. After visiting the Temple of Poisidon, Demitris took us to a restaurant to enjoy dinner before heading home. Demitris was very knowledgeable about the history and surroundings and told us of other places we could go and visit. We also booked Demitris to drop us off at the airport. Thanks, Demitris, from the Roux Family.

A Great Tour of Athens Coast and wonderful seafood meal - Maria was an excellent guide and driver for our half day tour to The Temple of Poseidon. She was very professional and pleasant to deal with. She gave us lots of interesting information about the area which we drove through. After we visited the Temple, she took us to a wonderful local restaurant on the water. We ate very glad that we selected the lunch option. We had a great seafood lunch (muscles sakanaki, grilled octopus, fried squid). On our way back, Maria showed us a few additional sites in Athens which we appreciated. She made it a very memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Good fix for killing time between check out and your flight - Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was very flexible with our schedule. You got to see an insider view of the island. A pretty stop to the temple of Poseidon. A good solution to filling your time between flights.
